Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 138 Ghost Doctor
Kou Yuzhu, Huzi, Huziniang and grandma all showed satisfaction in their eyes.

Kou Yuzhu said: "My brother and sister just said that your inability to speak is due to a problem with your throat, not a natural dumbness. This time I came to Yangzhou to treat your throat. I just thought about it. There are three well-known doctors in Yangzhou, but I heard that their diagnosis There is a lot of gold. Last month, Boss Feng of the manure shop was injured, and he went to one of the famous doctors for treatment. The entrance fee alone was ten guan, and he was cured, and he paid another two hundred guan."

Ye Chen nodded, indicating that he knew.

Han Keer's duty is terrible. Under normal circumstances, if it is not necessary, even if Ye Chen can't speak, Han Keer is obedient and rarely speaks for Ye Chen.Ye Chen was also very helpless about this.

Before dawn, Ye Chen heard Kou Yuzhu get up early and go out. Ye Chen thought about Kou Yuzhu's work, and suddenly realized that the manure picker should do it before dawn, when pedestrians or nobles are not up .

Ye Chen didn't want to waste time, and he had hundreds of coins, so early in the morning, he went to the three famous doctors in Yangzhou City that Kou Yuzhu said, but after a round, he was very disappointed and even panicked.These three so-called famous doctors were helpless to deal with his throat, there was nothing they could do.

However, it was not in vain to run and lie down, at least they knew the existence of another famous doctor from the three of them.

No one knows the name of this famous doctor, only known by his nickname ghost doctor. He lives on the Dokdo Island in the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou City. gold.As for whether the ghost doctor will treat you, it all depends on his preference.If he is willing, he will try his best to heal you without charging a penny for the consultation fee.If you don't want to, even if you take out ten thousand taels of gold or one hundred thousand guan, it will be useless.

It is said that when the former empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Empress Da Zhou, was seriously ill and dying, Emperor Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty sent someone to ask a ghost doctor to treat Empress Da Zhou. When the visitor went to the Dok Island of Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, what he saw was that the ghost doctor was not breathing. The cold and stiff corpse naturally died of illness after a big week, but after a few years, the ghost doctor appeared again, and he still lived on the Dokdo Island in the Slender West Lake.

Judging from the current situation, this ghost doctor is obviously the only person in Yangzhou who can cure Ye Chen's throat, but Ye Chen doesn't have a hundred taels of gold, so he doesn't have the conditions to meet the ghost doctor.

"The current market price is that one tael of gold is roughly equivalent to a hundred guan, and that hundred taels of gold is [-] guan."

"Looks like I have to go to the casino for a while." Ye Chen muttered to himself.

Yangzhou Gambling House - the largest gambling house in Yangzhou City, Ye Chen didn't know the background of the gambling house, but Ye Chen chose this one in the end, just because this one was the biggest and most able to afford to lose.And it sounds the most formal.What's more, he thinks that the method of winning money is not any cheating behavior.

The scale of the Yangzhou gambling house is about four or five times larger than that of the Ping An gambling house that Ye Chen went to the day before yesterday, but the layout and operation mode inside are similar.

The beautiful female croupier smiled professionally, glanced at this strange gambler who had not spoken the whole time but had more and more chips in front of him, and slowly raised the dice cup again.

one two three.Small!

The chips worth one thousand guan were pushed over by the female croupier with a thin bamboo board. Adding the original [-] guan chips, there were already [-] guan.Even in Yangzhou casinos, it is extremely rare, especially in the lobby.With so many chips, it looks quite tempting.Naturally, the casino can afford to lose this money, but it is unavoidable that there are many people around this gaming table unconsciously.

Considering that there might be some risks today, Ye Chen didn't bring Han Ke'er here.

At this time, Ye Chen suddenly regretted that he didn't choose to enter the box or the private room to start the game at the beginning.In any case, judging from the current situation, he needs to keep a low profile rather than show off.

He wanted to go into the box, but he couldn't speak, and he didn't want the people in the casino to know that he was dumb.After all, everyone knows that dumb people are easy to bully.

As the sound of rolling the dice kept ringing, the black dice cup kept dropping and picked up in the hands of the beautiful female croupier, and the chips on the gaming table in front of Ye Chen were also increasing. The chips, but still can't stop the pile of chips getting higher and higher, gradually turning into a hill.

Playing dice cups to compare size, thirteen in a row, seven wins, six loses, when you win, the bets are almost all done, and the six losers are small bets.At this time, Ye Chen's chips were worth more than 7000 chips, and he was not far from his goal of more than 1 chips.Even in a place like Yangzhou Gambling House, which is used to seeing bloody gambling in the sea, it is still rare to see such lucky people.

Rarely—in a sense, it is abnormal, and the so-called abnormal things must have demons.Regardless of the dealers in the casino, or the people who gambled and watched together, many began to suspect that Ye Chen was cheating.But casinos have their own rules. Even if you know the other party is cheating, as long as you can't see through it and find no evidence, you can only admit it within a certain range.However, if the winnings exceed a certain level, the casino will definitely take action, especially when the casino also lost a large amount of money for this, then it has to respond.

There are more and more people around Ye Chen's gambling table, but fewer and fewer people are next to Ye Chen. The gamblers can't suppress the enthusiasm in their eyes, but they don't want to leave this silent sentence. The young man who hadn't said a word was too close, so as not to displease the casino.

However, at this time, no gamblers dared to bet against Ye Chen. From the seventh bet, many gamblers followed Ye Chen with various mentalities to bet, and the casino lost more and more money. bigger and bigger.

The female croupier was still beautiful and gentle, but the smile on her face had become extremely forced. After Ye Chen won [-] guan in one go, the female croupier apologized to all the gamblers and said she was tired. After going down, the casino soon replaced her with a middle-aged man.Many guests at the gaming table knew that this was because the casino felt that the young man's luck or gambling skills were a bit difficult to deal with, so they replaced an expert, and some senior old gamblers even recognized that the middle-aged man was The master of the game in Yangzhou Gambling House let out a soft breath in surprise.

Seeing this middle-aged man play, and listening to the discussions of the gamblers around him, most of the people who had been betting with Ye Chen before decided not to follow for the time being, and wait and see for a while.

Ye Chen has already made up his mind, since he has been noticed by people today, he should simply win all the money he needs in one go. In addition to the 100 taels of gold for the ghost doctor's meeting fee, he must at least prepare as much as possible , What if the ghost doctor asks for more consultation money!What's more, I have to prepare some travel expenses for going back to Kaifeng in the north.

Before he came, he asked Kou Yuzhu to inquire about it. As long as the winnings of this Yangzhou casino do not exceed [-] guan, and the casino can't find any evidence of cheating, the casino will not compete with gambling for the sake of reputation and reputation. The guest turned his face.So the casino may be unhappy, but Ye Chen is not too worried about whether he will make trouble for him.

Can the casino find evidence that Ye Chen cheated?Naturally it is impossible.

Can casinos cheat?Ordinary small casinos, of course.However, the Yangzhou casino is the largest casino in Yangzhou, and unless it is absolutely necessary, he will definitely not use those methods to ruin his reputation.So they... still could only watch Ye Chen win.

After the middle-aged croupier entered the game, Ye Chen won another four rounds in a row.The crowd of gamblers surrounding him couldn't bear it anymore, took out their chips one after another, and started to follow suit again.As a result, the casino loses money faster and more, and the confident look of the middle-aged croupier is gone, replaced by a cold and ugly face.If this continues, the prestige and reputation he has built up on the casino street for many years will be affected, and even his status in Yangzhou casinos will drop because of this.This is absolutely not allowed by him, so he is going to use his trump card.

The crisp sound of the dice hitting the wall of the dice cup gradually disappeared. He slowly moved his hand covering the dice cup and glanced at the hourglass that had just been turned over. Instead of looking at the other guests at the gaming table, he looked directly at Ye Chen and smiled. Said: "Guest, please place a bet and leave."

Because there is enough time, especially Ye Chen has prepared before, so now all the voices of dice's different results have been memorized by Ye Chen.Including the rarest leopard.

Ye Chen didn't hesitate for long, because he already regarded this game as his last game in Yangzhou Casino.In fact, this game was enough to win all the money he needed in one go.

He stood up from his chair, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, took out chips worth [-] guan, and pushed them to the smallest of the three betting areas.

The dark crowd around the gaming table suddenly let out an exclamation, and the gamblers who had been silent for a long time could no longer suppress their shock.

"leopard!"

"Leopard! He turned out to be betting on a leopard!"

"He... Did he win a lot just now, and he was worried that the casino would trouble him, so he deliberately lost some back?"

"It should be like this."

Exclaimed, the gamblers began to discuss in shock, and although the middle-aged man behind the table hid it well, Ye Chen still noticed the slight tremor in the middle-aged man's body and the deep in his eyes. A fleeting shock.

Before the middle-aged man replaced the female croupier, he had been secretly observing for a long time, and he hadn't seen how Ye Chen cheated. Basically, he can be sure that Ye Chen didn't cheat, or that his cheating method was beyond the usual In the sense of cheating.

He is very confident in his vision for more than 20 years. Now that he is on the stage in person, especially after using his trump card, he has confirmed one thing: the young man in front of him who has never said a word, after the dice cup is settled, know the result.
